It’s a great time to be a Centralian!
The Central State University National Alumni Association serves the University and its students and alumni, known as Marauders and Centralians, respectively.
Alumni are invited to join the NAA, which operates independently from the University, and receive benefits including having a voice in University affairs through a strong and unified NAA; receiving access to a national network of alumni to recruit top students to Central State; participating in a higher education legislative advocacy program; and contributing to scholarships and emergency assistance for Central State students.
You have experienced the Central State difference. Now, you can directly impact current and future students who follow in your footsteps to blaze a trail into a more equitable and inclusive world.
